I've had the surgery 11 months ago and have lost 80 lbs.  I am not struggling because I am so close to my goal and I'm having the same old cravings I always had.  What is a good diet to follow to take away chocolate cravings.  I get home from work and all I want to do is eat!  I need help!!!!!

Are you seeing a therapist?  Instead of working to take away the cravings, it might be better to work on how to deal with them when you do have them.

Gwen~

For my food cravings I started using THRIVE by Le-Vel...it has helped me tremendously!

Have you ever heard of it?

Kindly,

Kristin

Nope. And this seems pretty scammy.

Therapy and figuring out why I crave things has worked for me.  Much better than random marketing scam.

Please do not downgrade something that you do not know anything about...I do not consider THRIVE a marketing scam...rather another health alternative.  Just as you chose to have a surgical procedure done...

Le-Vel was a way for me to better myself and has allowed me to be the best that I can be...I have had NUMEROUS benefits from this vitamin and mineral supplement. 

It is okay if you do not agree...but your thought process may not be that of everyone else's.

Kindly,

Kristin

Hey, if you want to waste your money on a MLM pyramid scheme, that's certainly your right.  But this isn't the place to shill.

What is THRIVE?

Are your meals protein focused?  I find when I eat mostly protein, my cravings are much better and I am less hungry overall.  I do let myself have some chocolate every day though.  My therapist says that when you continually deny yourself something, you crave it more and end up binging.  What are you craving?  Can you eat a little without going crazy?
